EDITOR: The Kelley Rodgers Schmidt team would like to express their thanks to the community of Caldwell. Whether you voted for us or not, the big news of election day was the turnout. Despite foul weather and a difficult parking situation, there was increased turnout.

EDITOR: Last week, the board of directors of Roseland Green in Roseland, N.J., had its letter published in The Progress. How a rebuttal letter accompanied our letter before being posted is puzzling indeed.

EDITOR: I apologize if this reply to ex-Councilman Cascarano’s response to my original letter to you seems to drag out the issue of Mayor Ann Dassing moving of the polling places but Mr. Cascarano, who does not live in Caldwell anymore but writes as a concerned parent, left out several key f…

EDITOR: We are supporting Line A on Nov. 6. Roseland is a community that works together to make the borough one of the premiere municipalities in Essex County, and we are proud to represent it in the Legislature.

EDITOR: The word that pops into my head regarding my friend Christine Schmidt is “thoughtful.” Not only because she is kind, caring, helpful and considerate, which she most definitely is, but because she takes the time to listen carefully and then think about what she has heard.

EDITOR: My husband and I have been Roseland residents for over 20 years and love this town and the wonderful memories we continue to make with our own family.I can say without a doubt that living in this borough was one of the best decisions we have ever made.

EDITOR: My husband will retire within a few years, and we're worrying about our future as senior citizens on a fixed income, especially our ability to pay property taxes. Will we be able to remain in our Caldwell home or be forced to relocate to a lower-tax state?

EDITOR: I serve on the Environmental Commission and also the newly re-formed Shade Tree Commission. The direction of Roseland and who is going to lead us through the next four years is very important to me.

EDITOR: I wrote to you last October after numerous front-page stories appeared in The Progress and other news publications about the tremendous embarrassment and shame to our community’s good reputation that was imposed upon Roseland by some of the insensitive and ignoble members our town’s …

EDITOR: We all have to ask ourselves what we expect of government and whether the current right-wing Republican government is giving us that. I cannot fathom how any thinking person can be happy with what Trump is doing to America. The people he has put into important positions all demonstra…

EDITOR: We strongly support Laura LaBianca, Joseph Shearn and Robyn Cassidy for Roseland mayor and council. The next mayor and council will make decisions that will impact the community for years to come.

EDITOR: When I moved to Roseland 12 years ago, it was a small town that felt welcoming, with well-managed resources, plentiful green space, manageable taxes, and a sense of community and neighborliness.

EDITOR: We recently moved to West Caldwell. We left a town with an exceptional school system and, although we do not have children yet, we wanted to ensure the school district in our new town at least paralleled our former town.

EDITOR: I am writing this letter in fervent support of Julianne Grosso's candidacy for the Caldwell-West Caldwell Board of Education. I have become acquainted with the many talents of Julianne over the past five years and can unequivocally say that she will be a tremendous asset to our town …

EDITOR: I am happy to endorse Joe Shearn for Roseland Town Council. I have known Joe for 18 years. As friends, we partnered to revitalize the Roseland Education Foundation to benefit Lester C. Noecker Elementary School.
